Senate Environment and Public Works Committee

114th Congress (2016 cycle)

Debate on how to solve the country's environmental problems begins in the Senate Environment and Public Works Committee. These issues range from ensuring clean air and water to cleaning up America's Superfund sites to preserving endangered species and wildlife. Both environmental groups and polluters are among the contributors to this committee. The panel also draws a lot of donations from transportation and construction interests that lobby for federal highway and transit projects.
